Direction: Marcello Andrei

The Committee, by a majority verdict, refuses to issue its authorization for this Italian-French film. The production company appeals against this decision and declares that it is willing to delete the most disputed scenes. The second instance Review Committee authorizes the public screening of the film with a viewing prohibition for minors under the age of 18. In 1993 the second version, presented with some modifications, is declared suitable for all viewers. In the attached video, you can see the film cuts as they are preserved at the Cineteca Nazionale (Rome).
